Eight years ago, a man ran for President who claimed he was different, not a typical Republican. He called himself a reformer. He admitted that his Party, the Republican Party, had been wrong about things from time to time. He promised to work with Democrats and said he'd been doing that for a long time.
That candidate was George W. Bush.
And we all know how that story ended.
In other news, McCain (dis)graced his presence here in Orlando, where he told us that the fundamentals of the economy are "strong", just as he had previously told us that the state of the economy was "psychological".
It gets better. Phil Gramm was his chief economic advisor until he was asked to leave because he called America a "nation of whiners". I guess people who wear $600 shoes, have more houses than they can count, and wear clothes that cost more than a mini-mansion (Cindy has kept her latest outfits under $300,000 at least in a show of solidarity for the little people) I'm certain would think we are doing pretty well.
Today, the Lehman Brothers sent Wall Street into the biggest devastation since 2001. The collapse of the financial giants can be traced to the huge deregulation and huge stripping of oversight written into law by, WHO?
The man who McCain has based his economic agenda upon--idiot Senator Phil Gramm.
